We also have no idea if Crespin can defend at all (or shoot from the perimeter like many here are saying). I don't know if he can defend, or what his 3 point percentage is, but highlight video shows that he shoots from long range with a quick release.

The Wiz Posted May 3, 2022 Share Posted May 3, 2022 Crespin stats... 2021-22...29 gms (reg season)...30min/gm 36% / 21% (99 shots) / 70%....reb 4.5...ast...1.1...TO...1.3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SLU_Nick Posted May 3, 2022 Share Posted May 3, 2022 We need a DJ Foreman-like guy in the worst way. Cory Remuken-like guy. There has to be someone who fits that description ready to come in and be a warrior for us. I honestly do not care if our 4 man has D+ offensive ability. I just want him defending, rebounding, and can make an open lay-up. Bizziken, TheDude, Zink and 3 others like this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is not comparable to HS kids that shoot great against guys that are unable to guard them. I bet his numbers go up when he gets to SLU. That said, his numbers would tank if he went anywhere else.

He is 17 they need to get him and develop him. As Nick posted find another DJ Foreman type of big to go with Crespin then SLU will have the pieces in place to win the A10.

As Brian said above, the 3pt line is the same... One other thing I wanted to clarify was the slash line I used above. The international slash line is different than the US slash line.... The international uses 2P/ 3P / FT...the US uses FG ( 2P +3P) / 3P / FT. To make things easier to compare I converted his International slash into a US slash. So the 36/ 21 / 70 is the US slash. An advantage he has over the average HS player is that he is already shooting at the college arc and won't have to adjust. Some HS players adjust easily to the new distance ...others don't. Rashad Williams struggled not just with the Bills but 2 years before he got here . Yet when he was a college freshman, he shot lights out. Why? Because he couldn't adjust to the new 3p distance which was increased between his freshman and soph years. Crespin won't have to adjust to a new 3P line but will have to get his 3P numbers up. One encouraging sign is in postseason play (4 games) his 3P numbers were up to 28%. Hopefully, if he comes here, his numbers would continue to improve.

majerus mojo Posted May 3, 2022 Share Posted May 3, 2022 Are we even sure that Crespin would get minutes this season? I guess out of necessity as the roster stands now, but we’ll definitely be bringing in another big. Ford’s last two Euros never saw the court, so my bar for him is extremely low Edit: Saw in the other thread he is visiting Saint Mary’s/Oregon State also. Might actually be good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And other than Crespin, I'm not hearing aby names to backup Okoro. I'm not saying Lorrneston is ideal, but he's 6'8" and supposedly can hit the 3. Granted he'd need to bulk up.

He just never seemed like he could keep up with back end of the opponent's bench. I don't how we could justify giving him minutes on next year's team.
